Sun Life Hong Kong has also recently opened new premises in Kowloon.

Sun Life Hong Kong, an insurance firm which operates in areas including those touching on wealth management, has named Steven Fong as general manager of distribution, while Martin Fortier, former chief risk officer of Sun Life Malaysia, is named as general manager for financial affairs.

Fong is re-joining the firm, taking over from Belinda Au who is leading a new project within the Sun Life Asia regional office. Fong will lead all distribution channels including agencies and brokerages, as well as training and development of the agency force. Fong was the chief agency officer at Sun Life in 2018, where he drove agency sales growth through quality business for agency distribution.

Fortier brings more than 25 years of experience to his new role. Prior to joining Sun Life Hong Kong on 1 January, Martin was with Sun Life Malaysia, where he held various posts including chief risk officer, chief actuary, appointed actuary and chief financial management officer. In his new role, he oversees strategy development and financial affairs including finance, actuarial, risk, asset liability management, investment and trustee business, Sun Life said in a statement yesterday.  

“In 2020, we will continue to grow our presence in Hong Kong and deliver outstanding products and services to meet the financial needs of people in the city,” Fabien Jeudy, chief executive of Sun Life Hong Kong Limited said.  

Last week the firm opened new offices in Kowloon.
